Hammonia Reederei has completed the conversion of its first containership to use alternative marine power (AMP) or “cold ironing”.
The 2,500-teu Sealand Los Angeles (built 2008) was recently commissioned with the new environmentally-friendly technology in Port Hueneme, California.
The vessel is one of sister vessels chartered by Maersk-Sealand where such a system is to be installed and commissioned in early 2017.
Hammonia Reederei said the system consists of an AMP container, a modified main switch board and the connecting cabling.
